Abstract

Creating a mobile simulation requires attention to several variables including how the environment will impact the design and implementation of the simulation. Simulations today can take place virtually anywhere, and it is essential that fidelity and efficacy do not degrade due to the location or maneuverability of an exercise. It is most helpful if simulation staff members maintain a flexible attitude, are ready for anything, and possess an agility to creatively solve problems that arise. Reviewing a reference list of practical tips and suggestions for mobile simulations can support program design preparation and ultimately result in more effective mobile simulation activities.
